Chapter 534 The Short Drama Project Begins!
Inside the large apartment, Chen Jincheng was about to continue his business with Xiao Ju when his phone rang.
It was Sun Ji who called.
He also pressed the answer button.
Sun Ji's voice came through: "Boss, I've assembled three filming teams that you asked me to prepare. When do you have time to come over and give them some guidance, and also assign them tasks? Right now, no one knows what their tasks are."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jincheng put down Xiao Ju's leg and said, "Get up and wash up, then come with me to the film and television department."
Xiao Ju breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him put his leg down.
He continued his attack, and she was afraid she would cry in front of him.
He's too fierce.
Upon hearing that she was going to the film and television department, she asked with delight, "Chen Jincheng, are you planning to make me a star and have me act?"
"Do you even have acting skills?" Chen Jincheng looked at her irritably, not forgetting to taunt her: "Don't take on a job you're not qualified for. Otherwise, you'll end up getting criticized for every role you play, and netizens will criticize you to death."
"Oh!" Xiao Ju snorted, somewhat dissatisfied at being hit with a rebuke.
"Stop talking nonsense and go wash up," Chen Jincheng said directly.
However, with her naturally aloof demeanor as a widow, Xiao Ju is still capable of filming short dramas that require less acting skill.
Moreover, there is no concept of short dramas yet, so he needs someone to act as a template for him and let Sun Ji and the others know what a short drama is.
I just happened to pick Xiao Ju, so I'll let her go.
He and Xiao Ju washed up together, got dressed, and then went out.
Before leaving, Xiao Ju patiently tidied up the house, putting the blankets and sofa cushions that still carried the scents of her and Chen Jincheng into the washing machine.
This is a large, single-level apartment that she carefully selected and bought, and decorated according to her own preferred style. She takes great care of it.
After all, what girls desire most is to have their own large apartment. Now that she has achieved this wish, she naturally wants to cherish it.
After finishing, she took Chen Jincheng's hand and left the large apartment, then drove to the Second Star Building.
He first took Xiao Ju back to his office, printed out a contract as a template, and then went to the film and television department.
Xiao Ju held his arm the whole way.
The people in the company were used to it.
A boss and a "Cheng Girl" (a term referring to actresses who have worked with celebrities), what's so strange about that?
When he arrived at the film and television department, Sun Ji was already waiting for him with three young men.
All three young men are directors with a lot of experience in the film and television industry, but they are not famous.
This was also what Chen Jincheng requested.
Famous directors certainly wouldn't lower themselves to make short dramas; only those without fame would settle for second best. The key is that making short dramas is simple in some ways, but also very difficult in others, so filming experience is very important.
Li Zhaolong is such a director. He has served as an assistant director for many TV series and has also directed some not-so-famous TV series himself. He has a wealth of experience, but has not achieved any significant success.
The main problem is a lack of resources.
Therefore, when Sun Ji approached him this time, saying it was an important project that Chen Jincheng was preparing, he naturally agreed immediately and joined the Second Star Company.
Moreover, this Mr. Sun prepared a total of 3 filming crews, which shows that he attaches great importance to this project. This also shows that Mr. Chen Jincheng, as the boss, also values this project very much.
It's important to understand who Chen Jincheng is now. If Tencent Video can't effectively counter Ershixingchen Film and Television Network next year, then Chen Jincheng will truly be the number one resource tycoon in the film and television industry.
Being able to participate in this project personally assigned by the boss is absolutely a stroke of luck.
But clearly, he didn't know that the project would be completely different from what he had imagined.
Anyway, when they saw Chen Jincheng arrive, he and the other two were very enthusiastic and respectful, and followed General Manager Sun and the boss to the conference room.
Sun Ji immediately introduced, "Boss, these three directors are the heads of the three filming crews. You can tell them directly if you have any instructions." Li Zhaolong nodded immediately, indicating that he would follow orders.
Chen Jincheng didn't say anything immediately. Instead, he handed the contract template he had taken down to Sun Ji and instructed, "This is a confidentiality agreement. Have everyone in the three groups sign one. Make sure no one reveals this plan. Otherwise, if someone signs this confidentiality agreement, I will definitely send them to jail."
This confidentiality agreement surprised Sun Jidu.
Is the short drama the boss mentioned really that important? They've even arranged for a confidentiality agreement.
However, he dared not neglect his boss's orders and immediately sent his secretary over to print the confidentiality agreement.
Li Zhaolong and the other two were equally surprised.
It's common knowledge in the film and television industry that even before filming begins, everyone is eager to generate buzz and let everyone know about their productions. But it seems that the boss doesn't want the outside world to know at all.
This must have surprised them.
One thing they did know was that if this boss valued it so much, the project must be extraordinary. If they simply followed his instructions and completed the project well, they would have caught the eye of this top figure in the film and television industry, and their future prospects would be guaranteed.
Xiao Ju is eager to try.
After all, it was a project for which Chan Kam-ching had to sign a confidentiality agreement. None of the other "Chan Girls" knew about it, but Chan Kam-ching had brought her, which was enough to make her feel superior.
"Boss, shall we move to a larger conference room? And gather everyone together to sign the contract?" Sun Ji asked.
"Mm." Chen Jincheng nodded.
Sun Ji received the instructions and made the arrangements.
The Second Star Tower is so large that it naturally has a lot of meeting rooms. There is even a floor that has been specially converted into three super-large meeting rooms, just to prepare for large group meetings.
All three short drama groups were called in.
No one dares to be late for this kind of meeting.
One by one, when they entered the large conference room and saw Chen Jincheng, they were all surprised. Although they knew that the boss was Chen Jincheng and had met him at the company before, this was the first time that the boss had held a meeting for them.
Many people were surprised and started discussing it:
"What's going on today? It seems like there's quite a commotion."
"It is quite large; Chen Jincheng actually showed up in person."
"I wonder what we've been gathered here for?"
"..."
Soon, Sun Ji's secretary also came in with a series of confidentiality agreements. Because there were many people and many agreements, they had to be pushed in by a cart.
Sun Ji also said directly, "Since everyone is here, let's sign a confidentiality agreement now. It's necessary for the upcoming project. If anyone is unwilling to sign a confidentiality agreement, it's not too late to withdraw now."
I definitely won't quit.
Who knows if they'll get retaliated against? Second Generation Stars pays very well now, and nobody wants to lose their job.
Besides, this is a project that the boss, Chen Jincheng, is interested in, so he has to get involved.
The fact that a confidentiality agreement must be signed further indicates that this project is not simple.
The first to sign were naturally the three directors, Li Zhaolong and his two associates. After they signed the confidentiality agreement, Chen Jincheng led them and Sun Ji back to a separate conference room. Sun Ji's secretary oversaw the signing of the contracts by each of the three groups.
Back in the private meeting room, Chen Jincheng took out three scripts and handed them to Li Zhaolong and the other two, saying, "These are three scripts. The first filming project you three will be responsible for is these three scripts."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhaolong and the other two did not hesitate and immediately picked up the script to read it. However, when they saw the specific content, their cheeks twitched and their faces were full of astonishment.
What kind of script is this? (End of Chapter)
